Facility Fees

What are Facility Fees?

Facility fees allow a healthcare organization to bill patients a service charge for the use of hospital facilities and equipment. Hospitals can charge patients facility fees if they see physicians who work in an office that is owned by the hospital. Facility fees are often times higher than the cost of the physician’s actual services and may far surpass the cost of providing the same service in a private practice setting. Many insurances do not cover facility fees or cover only a portion. You may have a separate deductible for the facility fee depending on your insurance policy.
